When expansion and internal change drew the Roman commonwealth away from its familial roots the underlying assumptions that had bound the state fragmented and the constitutional order was gradually supplanted by more authoritarian structures. unknown books

Like Grotius he embodied a happy combination of profound scholarship with a wide experience of diplomatic and public life and his work further resembles that of Grotius in that it cannot be classified under the conventional labels of any doctrinal system.

New. $32.95 Notable for their conservatism which became more pronounced in subsequent publications these lectures reflect on developments in the international legal order during the late 1940s. Pound detected three legal "paths": those of liberty humanitarianism and authoritarianism. The first which he endorses seeks to realize a maximum of free individual self assertion. Legal humanitarianism which he criticizes heavily is the expansion of injury law to include social redress and consumer protection. His antipathy toward the authoritarian path goes beyond a condemnation of authoritarian regimes like the Soviet Union to a rejection of any form of social legislation such as socialized medicine or state-run pensions. These lectures were delivered at the University of Nebraska where Pound had been dean of the College of Law from 1902-1907 and marked the establishment of the Roscoe Pound Lectureship Series. "This book . . . by its very thinness may succeed in luring attention away from competing attractions since here one may with the expenditure of only a little time obtain the reaction of one of the giants of jurisprudence to our confused complex and turbulent modern legal scene." --Frank Hanft North Carolina Review 93 1950-1951 29 Roscoe Pound 1870-1964 was a pre-eminent legal educator scholar and prolific author.

ISBN-13: 9781886363434; ISBN-10: 1886363439. Hardcover with dust jacket. New. $32.95 One of the major works of the Virginian John Taylor of Caroline 1753-1824. Little-known today Taylor's work is of great significance in the political and intellectual history of the South and is essential for understanding the constitutional theories that Southerners asserted to justify secession in 1861. Construction Construed and Constitutions Vindicated was Taylor's response to a series of post-War of 1812 developments including John Marshall's Supreme Court decision in McCulloch v. Maryland the widespread issuance of paper money by banks proposals for a protective tariff and the attempt to bar slavery from Missouri. Along with many other Southerners Taylor feared that these and other measures were undermining the foundations of American republicanism. He saw them as the attempt of an "artificial capitalist sect" to corrupt the virtue of the American people and upset the proper constitutional balance between state and federal authority in favor of a centralized national government. unknown books

Originally published: London: S.W. Partridge & Co. 1882. vi 392 pp. Reprinted 2002 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584772385; ISBN-10: 1584772387. Hardcover. New. $34.95 A set of biographical sketches of eminent jurists from the 17th through 19th centuries including Lord Bacon John Selden the Earl of Mansfield Sir William Jones and Lord Brougham. Conceived for young readers Adams offers a series of "Great Man" portraits in the manner of Carlyle in the hope that their lives will encourage emulation. Adams 1828-1891 therefore emphasizes the outstanding moral character determination and diligence of his subjects and their crucial contributions to Britain. Like many Victorians Adams feared that the need for professional specialization created by the growth of science and industry would eliminate the type of well-rounded personality dear to the English. This concern is evident in his choice of representative figures. He demonstrates in each case that these were men of many parts and that their breadth of interests contributed to their greatness in the annals of the law. unknown books
